 <\/p>\n

Every six weeks,\u00a0McDonald\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0changes up its menu in the UK, adding something new or bringing back a discontinued favourite.<\/p>\n

And so far this year, there have been some exciting changes at the\u00a0fast food chain<\/a>, kicking off with the launch of the\u00a0Big Arch burger<\/a>, a Katsu Wrap and the\u00a0Double Filet-O-Fish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also recently seen one of the biggest menu shake-ups in years, as Maccies introduced a\u00a0World Heist<\/a>\u00a0range in October, featuring burgers, fries, nuggets and desserts from other countries, including\u00a0Canada<\/a>, Japan and Poland.<\/p>\n

But now it\u2019s time for festive food to join the line-up, and for\u00a0Christmas<\/a>\u00a02025, McDonald\u2019s has teamed up with an iconic Dr. Suess character for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

A cult favourite item is also returning in December and there are some new drinks, desserts and fries.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is this the adult Happy Meal we\u2019ve all been waiting for? Kind of\u2026<\/p>\n

For this \u00a39.09 meal, customers can choose between a Big Mac, McPlant or 9 McNuggets. The main is then served with Grinched McShaker Fries (which have a gherkin seasoning), and a regular drink.<\/p>\n

Instead of a toy, you then get a pair of Mismatched Grinch x McDonald\u2019s festive socks in a box.<\/p>\n

Available from:<\/strong>\u00a0November 26<\/p>\n

Grinched McShaker Fries<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just like the Sour Cream McShaker Fries from the World Heist menu, these feature a flavour sachet and a bag. You pour the fries and flavouring, which in this case is gherkin, into the bag and give it a good shake to season.<\/p>\n

These will be available to order for \u00a32.19 (Medium) or \u00a32.99 (Large).<\/p>\n

Available from<\/strong>: November 26<\/p>\n
